Star Wars: The Mod - Unit requests

[polyphemus]

my copy of GB comes with yoda with a cane and one with a lightsaber. So i guess ill just extract the one with a lightsaber. Is your storyboard hand-drawn? If it is thats pretty good. I don;t need to do that though since i can just extract the yoda attack. Thanks anyways.

 

[odintheking]

Oh, I didn't know clone campaigns came with a lightsaber yoda. BTW, I hand drew it except for where the lightsaber is moving with a white flash. I took that from the Jedi Knight. Man, I wish someone would have another unit lottery....

 

[polyphemus]

So as of now im doing yoda correct?

 

[odintheking]

Sure, if you want.

Hey, polyphemus, how's that sweet lookin SSD going?

 

[kairob]

I'm new to moding but if you could give me a link to some free software with a readme/ seporate totorial then i could have a go at making some for you. Although you might have to tell me how to upload it aswell afterwords.

Hey, polyphemus, how's that sweet lookin SSD going?

What SSD? Oh that SSD. The one that's stuck in my hard drive and won't come out to be editted! No worries, im working on it. The default is done along with the fidget, the one you requested. The attack animation is bugging me. All those lasers have giving me trouble. I do it in poser. when i finish one direction ill post it. The thing is, i can't just rotate the camera since the lighting will be screwed up so i have to manually do an attack for each view. If anyone knows how to fix this problem, please help so i can speed up my work.

 

[odintheking]

Well, this may not seem "proffesional" to some poser purists (), but why don't you just fire a bunch of green cylinders off of it, and screw the lighting completely? It'll be a lot easier on you, unless that's already what you're doing.

 

[polyphemus]

that's what im doing but the problem is that the default has certain lighting to it and i want to keep that lighting. If i rotate the camera then the lighting will be brighter in some spots and darker in others. Im trying to keep everything consistent withh the default animation.

 

[polyphemus]

here's the figdet animation. Remember it's only a figdet anim and will rarely be played.

 

[polyphemus]

also i am currently begin to work on its attack. Please tell me wether i should make the SSD rotate like a battleship and have it attack from one side or make it attack regularly. Note that when it rotates it will rotate in about a 10th of a second. tell me what you guys/gals think of these ideas ASAP.

 

[Chris85]

I'd like to see it rotate like a battleship for the attack. As for those lighting issues, I have a similar predicament with my B-Wing, When it rotates upright to go into attack position it gets bright on the top and dark on the sides on the lower part of the hull. The good thing is I think I figured out a way to fix my problem by animating the lights as well.

Speaking of the B-Wing, I finished making my palettes and icons yesterday, and I'm ready to start rendering the default animation.

Early B-Wing preview:

 

[odintheking]

@polyphemus- sweet! Exactly how I imagined it. As for the attack, do the easiest one.
@Chris 85- Yahoo! That looks awesome!

 

[polyphemus]

The easiest way would be doing what chris suggested. The inly thing is that i want to make sure that you guys know that:

1. say the SSD is going SW for five squares.
2. It wants to attack something directly ahead of it.
3. It will then rotate at the blink of a eye and begin firing from its right side

there is no rotation animation and will look kinda wierd to have an SSD move that fast. I just want to get your final opinion so i can make sure this is what you guys wants. If this is not then let the hours of labor begin

I will finish this once I am done with the sounds for the Centauro TD.

 

[polyphemus]

ya you can have the a-wing bjornlo. It originally was mine but, i have so many other units to do so i decide to drop that. That would be great if you can do that. Are you going to design in from scratch or are you going to download the model?

The image above is rendered by me (in Bryce). It is the model I am going to use. I've already got a model, so I don't see the point in modeling another.

 

[polyphemus]

where did you gat the model. All the models i got came with textures and i don't know how to apply textures.

 

[Bjornlo]

To be honest, I do not recall.
I downloaded 100's of models all at once and have no idea where individual ones came from other then a few given to me by others on this board.

But I know most of them do not come with any textures. I (with some help from Wyrmshadow) have been learning how to apply them better and to make my own.

btw: don't let my doing or not doing this unit impact whether you make one. I'm making this unit because it amuses me to do so. It would not hurt my feelings one bit if several others felt the same way.
